Colloidal lead sulfide quantum dots (PbS CQDs) show high potential for the application in flexible electronics, as they are solution processible with tunable optoelectronic properties. In thin films, PbS CQDs form a superlattice morphology that tailors these optoelectronic properties. For instance, electronic coupling between adjacent PbS CQDs is dependent on the inter-dot distance in the superlattice. In this work, we investigate the superlattice deformation during applied external strain. For this, PbS CQDs thin films are prepared on flexible PDMS substrates. The samples are investigated with in situ GISAXS and photoluminescence measurements at different levels of strain to correlate the deformation-induced morphological changes to the optoelectronic performance.
